After leaving Tang Ya's room, Xu Zhengyang found Zhang Peng again. Under Zhang Peng's arrangement, he was led by a man in black and, wearing a hood, left the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
Back in his dormitory, Xu Zhengyang finally dared to show his true excitement and burst into unrestrained laughter.
People may not know the power of the Tang Sect's foundation or the effects of the Tang Sect techniques, but Xu Zhengyang is very clear that as long as one masters these Tang Sect, even an ordinary Soul Master can become extremely powerful. In particular, the Mysterious Heaven Technique, with its nine levels representing the nine realms of a Soul Master, is the most powerful inheritance in the Douluo World, bar none.
As for the missing methods of cultivating the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Xu Zhengyang, as a genius of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, naturally knew about the so-called Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the location of all acupoints and meridians in the human body. As long as he could find a way, he would definitely be able to make up for the parts that were omitted from the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Not to mention that Xu Zhengyang had other ways to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Just as Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed, Electrolux's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Fool, you don't even realize you've been tricked."
Xu Zhengyang's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. "Senior Electrolux, may I ask what you mean by 'scheming'?"
Electrolux snorted coldly, "You dare to go to the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult alone? Do you think they'll let you off so easily? Especially the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, whose strength is extremely formidable, probably the strongest you've ever seen. His unique puppet control method is particularly powerful; he's probably unmatched in the Douluo World."
Xu Zhengyang seemed to be deep in thought. The Martial Soul of Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, was the Death God Demon Puppet, the most powerful and evil Martial Soul in the world.
One of them is even capable of capturing beast spirits and controlling their subordinates through soul imprinting; their powerful and bizarre methods inspire fear.
Xu Zhengyang smiled slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, Zhongli Wu should have left Soul Seal on my Martial Soul. This Soul Seal won't harm me in the short term, but as I grow stronger, it will probably gradually trigger my Soul Seal, causing my Martial Soul and cultivation to gradually spiral out of control. If I continue to grow stronger, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to seek help from the Holy Spirit Cult."
Electrolux looked puzzled. "How do you know this information? Logically speaking, given your strength and realm, you shouldn't be able to detect the Soul Seal set up by a top-tier Titled Douluo like Zhongli Wu."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "It wasn't something I needed to discover myself; it was just an analysis based on Zhongli Wu's character and way of doing things."
" Zhongli Wu is ambitious and extremely confident in the strength of the Holy Spirit Cult. Given my current strength and the importance the Sun Moon Empire places on me, he will definitely not allow me, this potential threat, to exist. He will certainly try to control or even destroy me."
" The Holy Spirit Cult often uses Soul Seal to control its disciples. However, my identity is rather special. If a soul imprint were implanted in my mind, it would probably be discovered by Dean Jing Hongchen, or even Xu Tianyuan. Wouldn't all his efforts then be in vain?"
"By implanting the Soul Seal into my Martial Soul, especially into the Soul Seal of my Martial Soul, no one can detect it. Even if others do notice, they will only see the Soul Seal as part of the curse, and at least they themselves can remain uninvolved."
Electrolux paused for a moment before speaking, "So you've had your suspicions all along, and even accepted that all of this happened, accepted that you had an extra Soul Seal on you."
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "With my current strength, any speculation is superfluous, and any resistance is futile. Zhongli Wu is a Level 98 Titled Douluo and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. Even if Xu Tianyuan and Jing Hongchen discover something, they cannot help me remove the Soul Seal, nor can they clash with the Holy Spirit Cult for my sake."
" The Holy Spirit Cult is now extremely powerful, in some ways even comparable to the Sun Moon Empire. The reason they are cooperating now is because their external adversaries are too strong, Douluo Continent is united in fighting against them."
"If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, the final result will only be mutual destruction, which will ultimately benefit Shrek Academy and Douluo Continent."
Electrolux seemed to realize something. "So, besides the so-called Tang Sect Secret Arts, your trip to the Holy Spirit Cult was also to observe the internal workings of the Holy Spirit Cult, and perhaps even to stabilize the relationship between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Family."
"Both His Highness the Crown Prince and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult possess immense power and ambition. I bet they've long been plotting against each other, but are currently maintaining a delicate balance due to their reluctance to act rashly."
"But this balance is extremely fragile. Once it is broken by external forces, the entire Sun Moon Empire will fall into unprecedented chaos, and the three great empires of the Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy will take advantage of the situation. That would be a real problem."
As Xu Zhengyang said, he originally requested permission from His Highness the Crown Prince to visit the Holy Spirit Cult. Besides the Tang Sect Secret Arts, another purpose was to understand the situation within the Holy Spirit Cult Holy Spirit Cult and prepare for future communication with it.
Unexpectedly, he actually met Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, which led to the conversation mentioned earlier. During the conversation, Xu Zhengyang intentionally or unintentionally talked about the relationship between the Sun Moon Imperial Family and the Holy Spirit Cult, and about the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult's greatest enemy.
Although Zhongli Wu was selfish, barbaric, and arrogant, he was still the leader of a sect and knew what was important and what was urgent. Rather than fighting to the death with the Sun Moon Empire Imperial Family, it was better to deal with the external enemies first.
In particular, Xu Zhengyang's suggestion to the Holy Spirit Cult directly hit Zhongli Wu's inner ambitions. With the Holy Spirit Cult's current strength, there is no need for it to continue its rapid expansion. On the contrary, what the Holy Spirit Cult needs is to improve its image among Soul Master and change the public's attitude towards it.
Xu Zhengyang raised two crucial points: firstly, to maintain their own image and distance themselves from the reckless actions of Evil Soul Master, thus preventing all criminal charges from being pinned on the Holy Spirit Cult.
On the other hand, it is to create a completely new image for the Holy Spirit Cult, enabling Soul Master to defy fate, transform ordinary Soul Master into stronger ones, and make those Soul Master filled with hatred believe in the Holy Spirit Cult, thinking that the Holy Spirit Cult is their only way out.
It should be understood that, in any era, defying fate and seeking revenge are the most desired pursuits and the most awe-inspiring things for everyone, and the Holy Spirit Cult certainly has these conditions.
More importantly, as long as the image of the Holy Spirit Cult changes, and as long as the Holy Spirit Cult does not act recklessly as in the original story, Crown Prince Xu Tianran's concerns will be much less, and at least there will be no conflict before unifying the world.
This is also the fundamental reason why Shrek Academy and Huo Yuhao were able to win in the original novel. From beginning to end, they used the conflict between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Imperial Family to make these two forces fight first, then defeated them one by one, and finally achieved victory.
victory.
If the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire hadn't clashed, if the conflict between Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu hadn't been so intense, and if the two sides could have truly cooperated in the short term, there would have been no chance of the Shrek Academy and Douluo Continent turning the tables.
As for whether the two sides will clash again after the destruction of the Shrek Academy and the three great empires of the Douluo Continent, that is no longer a question, because at that time it will be Xu Zhengyang's own world, and Xu Zhengyang at that time will definitely not be as weak as he is now, and he will definitely not be someone who can be slaughtered at will.
As for the mere Soul Seal, even without Electrolux's reminder, Xu Zhengyang knew exactly how to eliminate it in the future. Don't forget, Ye Guyi will grow stronger rapidly, especially in five years. She will reach the Soul Emperor realm and become the nemesis of all evil spirits in the world.
Electrolux was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Xu Zhengyang would have such profound insights, such long-term plans, and even such strong ambitions.
" Xu Zhengyang, the Holy Spirit Cult is, after all, an organization that commits all sorts of evil deeds. Especially judging from the situation at their headquarters, it is the final resting place of countless innocent souls. The number of people who have died unjustly at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult is probably in the tens of thousands, or even more. Can you really tolerate the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Xu Zhengyang laughed instead, "Senior, are you mistaken? I'm just a minor Soul Ancestor now. Compared to Zhongli Wu, I'm probably not even an ant. What right do I have to oppose the Holy Spirit Cult's affairs?"
"On the contrary, with my suggestion and guidance, the Holy Spirit Cult should no longer engage in the rampant killings and wanton acts of the past."
This reckless act is already the greatest contribution I can make to ordinary people.
"As for the future of the Holy Spirit Cult, only the strong can decide that. Only after I truly become strong will I be qualified to do anything in front of the Holy Spirit Cult. At least for now, I can't do anything except keep a low profile."
"On the contrary, if I act too recklessly, I might prematurely ignite the conflict between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire, which would be truly troublesome."
Electrolux was surprised by Xu Zhengyang's rationality. Xu Zhengyang's maturity was unlike that of a fourteen-year-old boy; he was more like a wise old man, a powerful ruler who had mastered strategy.
" Xu Zhengyang, this Soul Seal won't harm you in the short term. Have you ever thought that with my strength, I could easily remove the Soul Seal Soul Seal you, or even let you control and master it?"
Xu Zhengyang shook his head. "I've spoken with Zhongli Wu. I'm not interested in Soul Seal, this method of controlling people. It might make someone stronger in a short time, or it might greatly enhance one's strength, but it's putting the cart before the horse and can easily lead to backlash."
"On the contrary, I value the faith in people's hearts, the friendship between people, and the intertwining of their interests. These are the truly unbreakable relationships."
"Just like how I treat my team members, just like how I treat the whole class, as class monitor, I fulfill my responsibilities, helping everyone improve their skills and become an outstanding captain. At the same time, there is a certain overlap in interests between us, which will create an unbreakable alliance of interests."
"Like Jing Hongchen, he clearly values his grandson more, but he also knows that with my guidance and help, there is no way..."
Whether it's Xiao Hongchen or Meng Hongchen, their strength can reach a higher level.
"That's why, even though Xiao Hongchen's talent is much higher than mine, his future seems much brighter, and he's a recognized genius, I'm still the captain of the Sun Moon Team. From beginning to end, it's all because we each get what we need."
"Otherwise, how could Jing Hongchen possibly give me the Sword of Judgment when I'm just a Soul Ancestor and the captain of the Soul Master Tournament? It all seems like an investment, an exchange of interests and emotions."
Electrolux was also somewhat stunned by these words, and even couldn't help but sigh.
" Xu Zhengyang, you're too rational, so rational that it makes you seem like a monster, or perhaps you are a monster to begin with."
